Plastic bag dispenser

Abstract

A plastic bag dispenser is disclosed. The plastic bag dispenser contains an elastic cord which has a first a first end and a second end. There is also a first spindle, which has the ability to connect to the first end of said elastic cord, and a second spindle, which has the ability to connect to the second end of the elastic cord, such that when the first spindle is connected to the first end of said elastic end and the second spindle is connected to the second end of the elastic cord, there exists the ability to hold a roll of plastic bags between the first spindle and the second spindle without the roll of plastic bags unraveling. The adjustable elastic cord secures the plastic bags to the roll on which the plastic bags are wrapped and serve to act as a pressure element to easily tear off a perforated bag.

I claim: 
     
       1. A plastic bag dispenser, said plastic bag dispenser comprising:
 a) An elastic cord, said elastic cord having a first end and a second end; 
 b) a first spindle, said first spindle having the ability to connect to said first end of said elastic cord, said first spindle comprising:
 1) A first elongated pole, said first elongated pole fitting through a first opening positioned on one end of said roll of plastic bags; 
 2) a first base to which said first elongated pole is attached and centered, said first base being larger than the central opening of said roll of plastic bags, said first base of said first spindle comprising a first through hole through which said first end of said elastic cord is passed through and knotted; and 
 3) a first groove extending across a surface of said base; 
 
 c) a second spindle, said second spindle having the ability to connect to said second end of said elastic cord, said second spindle comprising:
 1) A second elongated pole, said second elongated pole fitting through a second opening positioned opposite the first opening on another end of said roll of plastic bags; and 
 2) a second base to which said second elongated pole is attached and centered, said first base and said second base being larger than the central opening of said roll of plastic bags, said second base of said second spindle comprising a second pass through hole through which said second end of said elastic cord is passed through and knotted; 
 3) a second groove extending across a surface of said second base; 
 
 such that when said when said first spindle is connected to said first end of said elastic end and said second spindle is connected to said second end of said elastic cord, there exists the ability to hold a roll of plastic bags between said first spindle and said second spindle, said elastic cord securing a plurality of bags to said roll of plastic bags, said first spindle and said second spindle fitting within opposing openings of the roll of plastic bags. 
 
     
     
       2. The plastic bag dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein:
 a) said first groove of said first spindle further comprises:
 i) a first half of the first groove; 
 ii) a second half of the first groove, said second half of said first groove being deeper than said first half of the first groove; and 
 
 b) said second groove of said second spindle further comprises:
 i) a first half of the second groove; 
 ii) a second half of the second groove, said second half of said second groove being deeper than said first half of the second groove. 
 
 
     
     
       3. The plastic bag dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein
 a) said first elongated pole extends along a length of the roll of plastic bags; 
 b) said second elongated pole is hollow and is able to fit within it the first elongated pole. 
 
     
     
       4. The bag dispenser of  claim 3 , wherein:
 a) said first base of said first spindle further comprises a first hole through which said first end of said elastic cord is attached; and 
 b) said second base of said second spindle comprising a second hole through which said second end of said elastic cord is attached. 
 
     
     
       5. The bag dispenser of  claim 4 , further wherein said second hole of said second base communicates with a hollow section of said second spindle, allowing for the ability of said elastic cord to be threaded through said second base and through said hollow section of said second spindle whereupon said elastic cord has the ability to be knotted. 
     
     
       6. The bag dispenser of  claim 1 , further comprising a loop to which is attached to either said first base or said second base. 
     
     
       7. The bag dispenser of  claim 1 , further comprising an outer shell surrounding said roll of plastic bags, said dispenser comprising:
 a) a lip; 
 b) a cutter on or near the edge of said lip; 
 c) a door to allow said bag dispenser to be inserted in said outer shell.
